The WD Black 500GB NVMe M.2 solid state drive has dropped to $69.99 on Amazon. This is an all-new low price for an SSD that was selling around $90 just a couple weeks ago. It did drop to around $75 for Black Friday, but that's just not quite as good as this. The 250GB version is around $63 right now, so you're getting twice the space for just $7 more.

WD also has exclusive software, the WD Black SSD Dashboard, you can use to customize your experience and maintain your drive.
